  Hi, I’m thinking about starting a wordpress.org blog that would need its own domain name (not .wordpress.com) and the Directory plugin. What would be the lowest plan and cost for those two features? Do I have to have the Premium plan?

  There is no such plan.

  See here for details of all 3 plans offered for free hosted WordPress>COM blogs only http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/

  Note that none of the plans allow you to run advertising or to upload your own themes or plugins. WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for eCommerce transactions. If you need a site that requires a custom theme or plugins — e.g., if you want to be able to sell things directly from your site, or if you want to install discussion forums — a self-hosted WordPress site might be right for you.

  WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names.

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
